I had a good Friday. Meg is one of those secret shoppers and her next assignment was a local pizza place. Not exactly on my diet, but I HAD to help her out. The pizza was some of the best I have ever had, but the business flunked miserably on most other counts. Sonny had to go to youth conference so Meg and I took the girls and did a little somethin' special. By the time we all got home and the dust settled, it was late, but we decided to watch an episode from the "Planet Earth" series. Now this is a must see for anyone who does not have a primitive mind. It helps you appreciate the world we live in from the comforts of your easy chair. It is amazing. I kept saying, "Wow!" It was kind of embarrassing, but it just kept slipping out like when you ooh and aah at the fireworks. Anyway, the real point of this little blog is that we went to bed pretty late, even by my standards and I woke up at 7:10 this morning and WANTED to get up and run. I still can't believe it. And instead of rolling over and pulling the covers up, I got my somewhat lazy bum out of bed and did just that. I ran until I couldn't, and then I walked as fast as I could, and then I ran some more. It felt soooo good. Am I actually turning into someone that eats right (well most of the time) and exercises? Even when no one is looking or pushing me to do it? Is it possible that I am turning into that kind of a person? Well I have always wanted to be like "them." I guess miracles can happen at any age. As I sit here dripping with sweat and drinking my cool glass of water another thought comes to mind: Should I go lift weights? Nahhhh...well...maybe.
Thanks Ben, Carrie, Suzanne, Caitlyn, and Carolyn...I owe you!

Way to go mom! That is so awesome and I am really proud of you too! Heck, if I weren't paying to go somewhere, there would be little chance of me getting up to run! GO MO!
Hey, don't you owe me a little thanks too? I'm your "I don't ever want to look like that" motivation. I should totally get some credit here. :) I'm excited to get going with you though Mom. Chugga...chugga...
Yaaaaaay!! We are so happy for you! Kudos to you for getting through all the hard days to actually get to where it is kind of fun to do. You have no one but yourself to thank. You could get all the info in the world, and it would do you no good unless YOU put it in action. YOU DID IT!!
